Unleashing the Secrets: Unraveling Kashimo's Cursed Technique in Jujutsu Kaisen
Kashimo utilizes his formidable cursed technique, Genju Kohasaku, to engage in a high-stakes battle against Sukuna
Highlights
Hajime Kashimo is a monstrously powerful fighter with vast reserves of cursed energy and electrifying abilities that allow him to shock and paralyze enemies.
Kashimo unveiled his cursed technique, Genju Kohasaku, in his battle against Sukuna. This technique not only boosts his physical abilities but also grants him the power to assume the form of various phenomena by utilizing his cursed energy. Despite Kashimo's considerable strength, Sukuna's recent metamorphosis and return to his original state have elevated his power to an even greater level, making it an arduous challenge for Kashimo to emerge victorious.
Hajime Kashimo is currently the center of attention in Jujutsu Kaisen, and fans are thoroughly enjoying his presence in the manga. Kashimo was introduced to fans during the Culling Game Preparation, where he became the first player to add a new rule to the game. This suggests that he is one of the strongest participants. The fact that Kenjaku specifically sought him out to join the Culling Game is evidence of his exceptional strength. In fact, even among the selected participants, Kashimo stands out.
Although not as powerful as Sukuna, according to Kenjaku, Kashimo is still an immensely formidable fighter. Fans have already witnessed his battles in the Culling Game, but his cursed technique remained undisclosed until the previous chapter of the story. Finally, Kashimo had the opportunity to confront Sukuna in combat and demonstrate his true worth.
Kashimo's Cursed Energy
Kashimo possesses an astonishing amount of cursed energy, indicating his immense power as one of the strongest sorcerers 400 years ago. Even in his old age, Kashimo was believed to possess enough strength to decimate entire armies and leave behind a battlefield littered with corpses. His rejuvenation and transformation into a youthful body only served to further enhance his already formidable abilities. In a fierce battle against Hakari, fans were given a glimpse of Kashimo's true power. Despite ultimately being defeated, it was evident that Kashimo did not unleash his cursed technique.
Instead, he relied solely on his cursed energy, which possesses electrifying properties. When struck by Kashimo's energy, enemies not only endure physical harm but also experience shocking paralysis. Every blow he lands, even if blocked, inflicts damage. Furthermore, Kashimo has the ability to generate unstoppable waves, making defense nearly impossible and guaranteeing a successful attack without the need for a Domain Expansion. It is clear that Kashimo is undeniably one of the most powerful sorcerers solely based on the utilization of his cursed energy, not to mention his as-of-yet unexplored cursed technique.
Kashimo Vs Sukuna
In recent times, Jujutsu Kaisen dedicated considerable attention to the clash between Gojo and Sukuna. Lasting several months, this confrontation was largely equal until Gojo Satoru ultimately suffered defeat and met his end. Fans were taken aback by this unexpected twist, but before they could fully digest it, the lightning deity Hajime Kashimo promptly entered the fray, assuming Gojo's position.
With hardly a moment of respite following the emotionally charged and intense battle, the narrative swiftly shifted to focus on Kashimo. This new conflict commenced with a significant amount of dialogue. Kashimo yearned to comprehend the true meaning of strength and the loneliness that accompanied it. He also inquired whether Sukuna possessed innate strength or acquired it over time. Sukuna, dismissively declaring himself an unwanted child, conveyed that such matters were inconsequential to him.
Kashimo's Cursed Technique - Genju Kohasaku
Sukuna was in no mood to engage in conversation and immediately launched into battle. Kashimo revealed a well-thought-out plan in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 237, effortlessly landing powerful blows on Sukuna and inflicting significant damage. His explosive attacks sent Sukuna soaring through the air. However, Kashimo's most formidable weapon was his cursed technique, Genju Kohasaku.
Merely relying on his cursed energy, Kashimo realized that he couldn't hope to prevail in the battle against Sukuna. Fully aware of this, he made the crucial decision to unveil the trump card he had been keeping as a last resort. Kashimo's clash with Hakari revealed his desire to truly measure himself against Sukuna. From the moment he was introduced, fans understood his yearning to face the greatest of all time. Consequently, his exclusive cursed technique, limited to a single use, remained reserved solely for Sukuna.
In JJK chapter 237, Kashimo finally unveiled his cursed technique, known as Genju Kohasaku. This technique possesses immense power, but it also carries certain risks and advantages. One of its greatest advantages is Kashimo's invulnerability to electricity-based attacks. He cannot be electrocuted, even by Sukuna's special cursed tool. When he activates his transformation, Genju Kohasaku, Kashimo's body becomes engulfed in a lightning-like aura, granting him the ability to harness the power of lightning using his cursed energy.
When in this state, Kashimo's physical abilities reach extraordinary levels, surpassing human limitations. He becomes incredibly swift and agile, to the point where even Sukuna struggles to react to his attacks, resulting in a barrage of powerful hits. Additionally, Kashimo can unleash devastating sound waves that are exceptionally difficult to defend against. Furthermore, his ability to emit electromagnetic waves allows him to disintegrate anything upon contact, making this power extremely perilous. The drawback, however, is that this ability can only be utilized once, after which the user's body begins to deteriorate. Despite this limitation, it is an incredible offensive power-up, which Kashimo had been reserving specifically for Sukuna. Undoubtedly, it is a truly cursed technique.
Genju Kohasaku possesses an exceptional amount of power, enabling Kashimo to easily rival Sukuna. However, it should be noted that Sukuna is currently weakened, unable to utilize the majority of his attacks or heal properly due to Gojo's actions. As a result, Kashimo currently holds a significant advantage.
Unfortunately, this advantage is short-lived as Sukuna undergoes a transformation near the end of the chapter. He begins to reincarnate in Megumi's body, completing the process and returning to his true form. In this form, Sukuna boasts a massive stature, with four arms and multiple eyes on his face. With the support of his cursed tool, Sukuna has regained his peak strength. While Kashimo and his cursed technique are incredibly powerful, surpassing that of a regular sorcerer, defeating Sukuna is an entirely different matter. Fans should not expect Kashimo to reach the same level as Sukuna and Gojo, but he should be considered a close contender.
Jujutsu Kaisen can be accessed for free on the Shonen Jump and Manga Plus app, courtesy of Viz Media. Fans can officially read the series there. The upcoming chapter 237 of Jujutsu Kaisen, titled JJK, is scheduled to be released on October 1, 2023.
